I bought a used Emak made in Italy dated 06-1993 from ebay.

It has a pink grinding wheel which says for 3/8" & .404" made by efco.

Size  3.94"x.185"x.63"  & 100 x 4.7 x 16  which I assume is mm.

It worked on a 3/8" chain ok.

Where could I get wheels for .325" chain.

Does anybody know if these are still sold and where.

An instruction booklet would be handy as well.

   Thanks for the help.

Check with Bailey's or a local chainsaw dealer. The arbor size should be common.

Emak is distributed by Tilton Equipment ( 1-800-447-1152 )and they gave me the number of a local dealer about 20 miles away.

I called and he is going to get me prices.

Though I have both wheels, I too use the 3/8 wheel for smaller chain (.325 etc.) and it works fine.  Though it is a bit tough on the real small 90/91vs stuff as on my polesaws.

Thanks for the info.

I did try the 3/8 wheel on my .325 Stihl chain and it worked great.

My brother-n-law has a harbor freight grinder and his wheels have 7/8" arbor , mine has 5/8" arbor.

Does anyone else have 5/8" arbor wheels?

the emac,jolly,oregon,and northern hyd oregon copy use 5/8 arbor.  i believe the stihl grinder does also,and maybe the silvey????not sure about the foley, though i believe it does also
